Chapter two
Trainer to be for me
I do not own Naruto, if I do so help me God
The moon shone brightly through the glass window as Sakura dressed for a deadly mission.
They were gifts, the clothes she wore that night. Gifts for the day she came to be strong.
Sakura sighed as she looked at herself through the mirror. Today is the day.
The thirteen year old wore a mesh dress over a red sports bra and shorts. Her long hair was pulled back and braided with a ribbon running through the turns of the intricate weave.
Sakura exhaled her breath through her nose as she tied her fathers katanna to her back. Dust flew off the blade as she sheathed the weapon.
She remembered the day he died, oh so clearly. A month after her mother died of a rare disease. She inherited everything, but that didn't matter, what mattered was that no one was there for her. No one cared, they were all focused on Sasuke's leave.
Sakura chocked on an invisible tear as she slung a back pack over the katanna.
Slowly she grabbed a pen and paper, beginning to scratch furiously at the pad.
Dear Konoha and friends,
I'm leaving on a five year self assigned mission. Don't bother to expect me home soon, I'll be gone for a while. I'll miss most of you terribly. I hope when I come back you can show me some new jutsu's in combat. Pray for me that the mission is a success, I'm praying too. I love Konoha … and most of its people. I love you guys and goodbye,
Sakura
The girl smiled as she picked up her kunai pouch and left the note on her bed, whispering a faint 'goodbye' as she swung herself out of the window.

First stop…
Sakura ran forward, weaving her body back and forth through the many trees. Slowly she sat down against a tree trunk, lifting off her heavy back pack.
"Running for three hours… where should I go first." She spoke, lifting up a giant water bottle and pouring half of the contents on her body. "Wind."
"Now why would a single kunoichi be going to wind?"
Quickly the girl jumped up and unsheathed her sword, holding it in front of her body.
" Show your face you coward."
"You could have just asked, the insult wasn't necessary." Silkily a body stepped out from the shadows before her.
The southern wind picked up then, ruffling Sakura's hair and opening slightly the red and black cloak.
Back, a step she took, holding the weapon more firmly now.
"Uchiha Itachi."
"Perceptive, now tell me girl, what is your name."
"Why would I tell you?"
"I'm guessing you don't trust me, but then again you have no reason not to and giving someone their name does hand them certain power over you… but its only fair. You know my name."
Sakura blinked, she never thought that Itachi would talk so much, She thought he would be even more stoic than Sasuke.
"M-my name I-is Haruno … Aiko."
Before Sakura could blink, her chin was snug in between Itachi's fingers and her sword was not in her hands anymore, but back in its sheath.
The poor girl struggled, only now noticing that both of her wrist were held gently but firmly in the hand of Itachi.
"You're lying… now tell me what is your real name."
The captive breathed in, inhaling the scent of spice and musk. Getting woozy off of the intoxicating scent she whispered a hoarse 'Sakura'
"Now why are you here alone." Sakura closed her eyes, careful to avoid his dangerous red eyes.
"I-I'm weak." She hung her head, "I gave myself five years to train and if I don't become strong… I wont be able to live any longer… I wouldn't permit myself to."
Itachi lowered his lips to her neck, letting his breath warm up Sakura's smooth neck.
"I see potential in you Sakura… I will train you."
The girl rose her head, her green eyes staring daringly into Itachi's eyes. Angrily she pulled herself out of his grip, she backed into a tree and held a low branch with her hand, steadying herself.
"How." She growled, "How can you of all people see potential when my own sensei cant see squat. When he… he disowns me… how can you want to take me in." Her hand began to shake furiously, snapping the thick branch in half, "Is this some game to use me for the Kyuubi… It's not going to work."
"How did you know about the Kyuubi?" Itachi inquired, interrupting her rant.
"Its not relevant… if your done toying with my thought process… you can leave now." Sakura said throwing a kunai at him, aimed straight at his heart.
He dodged it quickly, only having the second one skimming his arm with a deep cut.
Itachi raised his fingers to his arm, rubbing some of the blood off of his arm to show her.
"Like I said girl, you have potential… the only thing is do you have intelligence to take this offer."
Sakura looked at him shock on her face.
"Yes or no?" The criminal asked again.
"Y-yes…" She agreed, shivering from the breeze.
"Okay. You have one hour to get to wind, find a lone cottage masked by genjutsu and dispel the jutsu and get inside. Your training starts here. Good luck… oh and if your late… you'll have to run five hundred laps around the city. Goodbye…Sakura"
